Leveraging Azure DevOps for application life cycle management (ALM)

Releases in Azure DevOps effectively manage the application life cycle for Power Platform solutions. The concept of Releases revolves around a set of source artifacts (for example, Power Platform solution files) and a sequence of release pipelines that deploy those artifacts to target environments (for example, QA and PROD Power Platform environments).

Solution architects configure release pipelines, setting up a framework for continuous delivery that provides the following benefits:

  • Reduce delivery risks via a sequenced and controlled deployment strategy.
  • Reduce the risk of errors caused by manual deployments.
  • Increase productivity and release capacity through automation.

In this section, we will create a Release Pipeline that deploys to QA and production environments from source control.
